The Go To Hell Podcast

This episode was recorded a few weeks ago but we sat on on it so we could post episodes dealing with the Israel-Gaza crisis. Colton is back and a new dad! So he fills us in on the birth of his daughter and how baby and mom are doing. Tim then complains about Taylor Swift intruding on everything. Go to hell, Taylor! Then we discuss our main topic: 5 Misconceptions About Dechurching in America. An in-depth sudy has been done on dechurching and the finding will surprise you.

Tim & Colton have a mashup podcast that includes the breaking news of beloved actor Matthew Perry’s untimely death. We reflect on Perry and the show that made him famous, Friends. Other discussions include music with Smashing Pumpkins, and why we love live and acoustic versions of many songs. Then we end with a somber discussion about the hatred manifesting itself from the conflict in Israel and Gaza.

“Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love.” – MLK

Tim & Colton felt it was important to share our thoughts about the crisis in Israel. So we sat down for a long, wide-ranging discussion about the issue. The discussion includes: a primer on the history of Zionism and the modern state of Israel; a broader discussion of Israel going back to Abraham, Isaac and Ishmail; end times and Revelation; anti-semitism and Islamaphobia; and how we believe Christians should look at the conflict as of today.  PRAY FOR PEACE!

First, we mourn the passing of another musical giant, Jimmy Buffett. Seriously, this is getting to be too much. The Godfather of Island Country (not beach bum soft rock… go to hell NPR), he was both ubiquitous and underappreciated. 

Then Tim and Colton discuss two articles that deal with the de-churching in America. Why are Middle-Aged Americans not going back to church? Is the American over-scheduling, over-achieving way of life leading to churchgoing getting crowded out? Has our agrarian and industrial-age model of church run its course and is in need of a simple replacement? Home church? Maybe. But let’s be honest that home church has downsides too.

After a long discussion about the greatness of the late Robbie Robertson and The Band, Tim & Colton discuss the Devil, Beelzebub, Lucifer, Baphomet, Mephistopheles... Satan. Who is Satan? What is Satan? What are proper, healthy understandings of Satan and his demonic minions? What are some unhealthy perceptions of The Accuser and Father of Lies?

•  Beer of the Week

• 1852 Brew Co. Unite & Strengthen West Coast IPA

• Tim - The Band

• Robbie Robertson, Master Storyteller

In this first part of a mega episode, Tim talks about the Netflix documentary Wham!, about the 1980's pop sensation Wham! The doc is a fascinating insight into the duo of George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley that topped the charts and made young girls swoon in the mid-80s. With it comes important lessons. Tim & Colton discuss:

The ridiculous postmodern fetish to sexualize close, meaningful relationships between friends, particularly males.

Are parents sometimes dream crushers or Daedalus warning Icarus not to fly too high to the sun?

Finally, we discuss George Michael and the inner demons he dealt with. A man who seemed to have everything (and aware of it) was actually a deeply insecure man who struggled to grasp his self-worth. It's a lesson to us to try not to judge what's on the outside and to understand what others are going through on the inside. It'll make us better Jesus followers.

Be Kind. Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.

• Stone Brewing Co. Two Kiwis Double IPA

Tim and Colton take the week off from Christianity and church talk and this will either be the least or most listened to Go To Hell podcast. It’s an indulgent, detailed, marathon of a telling of our Inaugural San Diego Beer Marathon™ where Tim and Colton, joined by our friends Erik and Nolan, visited 18 San Diego breweries in 48 hours. Oh, we consumed much more than 18 beers in that time. We detail the breweries we visited and what we drank; rating and ranking them as well. What a trip! If you don’t like beer or care about men trying feats of strength, we’ll see you back next week when we return to our usual topics.
